Ultimate Chicken Horse ‘Hippo-Party-Plus Update’ launches

Unique competitive / cooperative platforming game Ultimate Chicken Horse has some new content in the form of the Hippo-Party-Plus Update that comes with a decent chunk of content but may be the last addition to the game for a while.

For those who have never heard of the game, Ultimate Chicken Horse is a unique title where players need to build a platforming level as they play, trying to balance difficulty to stop the other players with accessibility so that the course can still be completed.

Think friendly head to head Mario Maker where the level is altered every few minutes.

The new update, as you may have guessed by the name, features a hippo. The full list of new content for this free update is as follows:

  • 1 new character: Hippopotamus
  • 1 new alternative skin: Triceratops
  • 4 new outfits: Floatie (Hippo), Cowboy Boots (Hippo), Balloon (Hippo) Jockey Outfit (Horse)
  • 1 new level: Rollercoaster
  • Tons of bug fixes

As with most updates Hippo-Party-Plus also comes with some smaller additions and fixes which can be read in the full patch notes here.

While free content like this is always appreciated, especially for a game that was released in 2016, it may be the last update to the game for a while.

This is because developer and publisher Clever Endeavour Games is working on other projects which need attention. On top of this the online architecture of Ultimate Chicken Horse needed a lengthy rework to remain operational.

“While we are not saying there won’t ever be new content for Ultimate Chicken Horse, this is the last content update that we have planned for the foreseeable future. We know this will be sad or disappointing for some – there are so many great ideas for new characters, levels, modes and so much more. For us, too, it feels a bit scary as we move into new territory,” the studio writes.

Those worried about the longevity of the game will be happy to note that it will still be supported long into the future, but this update represents a change over for the studio putting more effort into an unannounced project.

Ultimate Chicken Horse is available for Nintendo Switch, PC (Steam and Origin), PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The game is currently discounted by 50 percent until 24th September too.

This title comes highly recommended from us and makes for the perfect party game. You can’t go wrong especially with that discounted price.
